Behind My Back

Hank Locklin · Nashville Women [1967]

(Liz Anderson)



I feel I'm safe in saying you don't love me

Behind my back you've cheated constantly

You're even grievin' now I've seen you run around

Behind my back right in front of me.



Don't need a crystal ball to see it's over

Don't need a ton of bricks to fall on me

I know your love is gone the way you carry on

Behind my back right in front of me.



--- Instrumental ---



I've searched your face for any signs of feeling

But not one else of love is there to see

You couldn't love me too and do the things you do

Behind my back right in front of me.



Don't need a crystal ball to see it's over

Don't need a ton of bricks to fall on me

I know your love is gone the way you carry on

Behind my back right in front of me...
